Food Food Food!

I am doing several posts over the next several days on my food obsession hobby: #1 garden, #2 solar oven, and #3 cooking. Maybe I'm a little obsessed, but food is one of those things that you can't live without, so you might as well enjoy it! Charlie and I have been working on the garden, so here are a few pictures.

This is a partial view of the raised beds. The large plants in front are green beans, there are also peas and cucumbers a little further back on the trellis. Charlie and I made the trellises with wood and bamboo from Lowes ("we" made them is being generous, we shopped for supplies together and I scored marks for where to put the bamboo, Charlie did the rest). Much cheaper them buying them premade. The pots are peppers.

Close up of the peppers. We have green and red bell, and jalepenos (which are flowering now). The right pot is a squash. We might transplant it to the garden, we did not think there would be room before.

Baby bell pepper!

Green onions and carrots (the carrots are too small to see well). We bought green onions for baking, and they came with roots so we replanted them. They grow pretty fast.



Shallots and carrots. On the right corner you can also see one of the garlic.


Lettuce, which is not looking very good right now. Apparently lettuce does not do well when it's above 80. Oops. We'll try again later probably.



For the kitties, cat grass, which was looking great but now has been decimated from noms.

That's it for now! Happy Tuesday!
